Hi there, rebekahatlifesol. I'm here to share some details about correcting your 1099 and how you can e-file it again. 

 

Before proceeding, let's check first the filing status of your 1099. If the IRS has rejected your form, it's advisable to fix and resubmit your forms since it can't be corrected once they're rejected.

 

Moreover, if it's accepted, you can correct and file or even amend your 1099 using QuickBooks Online. Let me share some steps on how to correct and e-file your form.

 

1 . Go to 1099 fillings tab. 

  • QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Online Payroll: Go to Taxes, then 1099 filings.
  • QuickBooks Contractor Payments only: Go to 1099 filings.

2 . Choose Correct after selecting the form you want to fix. 

3 . You will see the accounts and boxes that you have previously selected. These accounts represent the payments or expenses that you have made to your contractors, along with their corresponding 1099 box. If you wish to delete an account, select Remove next to the row. If you want to add or change an account, click Select accounts.

4 . If you want to change the 1099 box, select the dropdown next to the account and choose between the 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC box that represents the type of payments made to your contractors. 

5 . Hit Next

6 . Confirm the Corrected total is what you expect.

7 . Select Edit to make changes to modify your contractors' personal information and email addresses. After that, click Next.

8 . Hit Preview to see each corrected 1099. Select the E-file corrected form twice.

9 . Repeat this process for each 1099 form you want to correct.
